Miss 38th Street's Day Off

Hello, again!

Miss 38th Street had the day off on Saturday, the lucky devil.  I had to work at the Big Blue.  She was home having fun, making the house look great.  I was at work dealing with clients and making sure the shows look good.  She was at home with the dogs and having a great day outside.  I was inside the hotel running around like a crazy person trying to make everyone happy.  As you can imagine, I was very jealous.

Here is photo evidence of the difference:

Miss 38th Street was planting Hostas and Marigolds
around the pear tree out front.  Very Nice.

I was working.

She was making the porch flower boxes look

 beautiful with a spikes and a few types of Coleus.

I was working.

She was planting more Asiatic Lilies in the south flower boxes.

I really like the burgundy and white lily.

I was working.

 She hung some Boston Ferns and some flower baskets, 

and I don't what kind of flowers they are.  

Sorry Miss 38th Street.  Do see her arm?  Hot!

Another shot of Miss 38th Street's handy work.  

She even shined up the porch swing!  Amazing!

Miss 38th Street did a wonderful job making the house look beautiful!  I wish I could have been there to pitch in and have some fun too!  Hey, I love her.  She's awesome. And I'm not just saying that because she's my hot fiance, even though she is my hot fiance.  I'm saying it because I mean it.  YOU ROCK, MISS 38TH STREET!!!

I hope everyone had a nice weekend outdoors!

Adios.

Late Garden Update!

Hey All.

I have a late garden update for you.  Last week, we left for Myrtle Beach, SC for Miss 38th Street's sister's college graduation, which was awesome!  Thus, I had to quickly plant the rest of the garden before we left.  Unfortunately, I didn't label everything so I have a few mystery plants.  Which can be fun!

So, here's the rundown of what's in the garden and around the garden:

First off, I planted the final seeds, which are (4) Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean and (8) Tendercrisp Green Beans.

Then I transplanted the seedlings from the basement.  I had a lot of seedlings die, but I also had a lot live.  Some were strong.  Some, not so much (I'm going to post an entry totally devoted to this seedling operation of mine).  I put the strongest in the garden box, and pots, and a few around the area, which wasn't a popular idea (heh heh, sorry Ms 38th).  I hardened them off for a few days, first, then I put them in on Wednesday, May 2nd.

In the garden box, I have:
-Four tomato plants; Black Krim, Brandywine, Green Zebra and a Roma.
-(2) Sugar Baby Watermelons
-(2) California Wonder Bell Peppers
-(2) Aji Limon Peppers
-(2) Cucumber
-(1) Basil
-(1) Lemon Basil


I also added some pots around the front, because I have an addiction and don't know when to quit.
I have the following:
-(1) Black Cherry Tomato
-(1) Green Zebra Tomato
-(1) mystery tomato
-(1) Aji Limon Pepper
-(1) Scotch Bonnet Pepper
-(1) Lemon Basil
-(1) long planter box with a Cilantro, Basil and Parsley

Around the garden box, I slipped in two Tomatillos and one more Roma Tomato (I love you, Ms 38th!)

When we got back this afternoon, everything was doing great!  I pulled the rest of the Purple Plum Radishes to give the new plants some room.

      I had a few huge radishes, like this one!

We're off and running, or growing, really.  I have one spot open in the garden box, which will be filled sooner than later.  I hope everyone else's garden is doing well.  Lets hope for a better summer this year. Last year was too dry and hot!  

Adios!
